Lilydale - 10,000 Maniacs

Come as we go far away

From the noise of the street

Walk a path so narrow

To a place where we feel at ease

Some think it is haunting

To be drawn to the cemetery ground

As we There’s a stillness here

Thankful found

Child’s pose angelic

A stone lamb at her feet

Part the matted overgrowth

To read the carven elegy

Some think it so haunting

To be drawn to the cemetery ground

As we There’s a stillness here

Thankful found

Born in new albion

Of rice family elite

Wed to myron bilowe

Thrice with sons

Blessed was she

Some think it so haunting

To be drawn to the cemetery ground

As we God’s acre is a fenced in Hollow ground

Here soon to rise up Amelia tender and sweet

Her last words spoke

All is well

All is peace

Some think it so haunting

To be drawn to the cemetery ground

As we God’s acre is a fenced in Hollow ground
